'Woj bombs' and the Thunder: OKC highlights from NBA insider's career
The NBA world experienced one final piece of breaking news from ESPN's insider Adrian Wojnarowski — his retirement. The NBA insider silenced his phone when he surprisingly announced his exit from the sports media world.
With the 2024-25 NBA season around the corner, Wojnarowski has pivoted in his career. He will now serve as St. Bonaventure men's basketball general manager. The college GM gig has been a recent phenomenon due to the introduction of NILs and the transfer portal.
